Ages 4-15

This class prepares students for the competitive team program.

The Women’s Development Program (WDP) was created -with the belief that all athletes, regardless of their potential, must have a solid foundation of basic skills in order to advance safely. The program allows the gymnast to advance at their own pace, competing in more than one level in a year, if they so choose.

The Women's Development Program has two major groups: Compulsory and Optional.

The difference between Optional and Compulsory is the type of routines they can perform. For Optionals, there are only 4-5 routine requirements and each gymnast can have her routine choreographed for her personality and individual strengths and weaknesses. Whereas in compulsory levels, the routine is already choreographed, and every gymnast must perform the same routine.

The Xcel program was created in 2013 as an alternative to the more rigorous Women’s Development Program (WDP).  It is a great way for gymnasts to become more involved in the sport and attend fun competitions. It also provides them with a healthy level of challenge and commitment to their training.

 The program's versatility allows for gymnasts to participate in competitions at all skill levels, so it is an excellent competitive path for both beginners and for those who have more experience.  There are six divisions in the Xcel program in which gymnasts can compete with increasing difficulty: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Sapphire.

The most fun and exciting part of Xcel is the flexibility in level requirements that are more open-ended. Routines are catered to the gymnast. Each athlete has the opportunity to highlight her personality and unique abilities.
